Oh poor William. I hate her she's so cruel. I want to snuggle him and cuddle him.. etc. etc.
Cecily is cruel, but in her favor, I have to say that only a really brutal cut would stop William from coming back.  We see how obsessed Spike is, and William is possibly the same.  Also, it didn't appear to me that she really gave him any encouragement - it was all in William's head, and possibly his mother's.  I'm not sure I made William silly and dorky enough.  Thanks for reviewing.

Great Job -

Sorry that I lost my long review to the Computer Text Eating Monster.

Have to say how very much I have enjoyed your visualizations and use of metaphor  - all those ribbons and black bows and repeating symbols of a life being stiflied and bound - NICE

You have taken William and added so much to the "Fool For Love" episode and the character - I feel even more compassion and sorrow for William -

Congrats on your hors d’oeuvre section - it's like Angelus, Darla and Dru are getting ready to eat him right up -  
Thanks so much.  This has been a very exciting and completely different project for me.  As Spike said, I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Ouch....even though this William does not fancy himself in love with Cecily she still drew blood there.

Very proper and fatalist is our William....very much dedicated to doing his duty now that love is lost....he is primed for Dru with her "inappropriate" allure.

Nicely done.

Yes, William has some pride and he's easily wounded.  He might be a little in love with her anyway because he always has to be in love with someone.  Thanks for reviewing.

Ah yes I remember the events.
*shakes head* Ribbons around the eggs? No wonder that that is driving William crazy.
But I guess he has other problems now - like getting turned.
I'm seeing Mom as a bit looney toons.  Maybe being turned restored her to sanity as well as health.  Thanks for reviewing.

This is a very believable backstory for that interlude.
Thanks J - hope I can tie it all together in the end.
